‘Haunted’ Elsa doll returns to its owners after being thrown in the trash, twice
A Houston family had to mail an Elsa doll that belonged to their little daughter to a far-off place after the doll allegedly found its way back into their home, despite being thrown out not once, but twice.
The story about the supposedly “haunted” doll retained Facebook users’ attention for years as the terrified family documented the most bizarre details surrounding the toy, which may come across as unbelievable.
Houston family tried to get rid of a ‘haunted’ Elsa doll
The saga of the creepy Elsa doll began in 2013 when a girl residing with her family in Houston received it as a Christmas present. At first, it recited dialogues from the movie and sang Let It Go in English only. This went on for two years and the music would play when the button on the doll’s necklace was pressed.
The mother of the little girl, Emily Madonia, told Click Houston that the doll started alternating between English and Spanish two years later and it did it randomly, even when no one pressed the button. Creepy much? There’s more to it.
For six straight years, the doll kept singing randomly even when its batteries weren’t replaced and it was kept turned off.
Having had enough of its strange and creepy behaviour, the family decided to get rid of it for good in 2019, but it wasn’t as easy as they had imagined.
Emily claims they threw out the Elsa doll in the trash but it managed to get inside their home weeks later and surprise them in their living room. When the mother asked the kids if they were behind its return, they denied it.
The kids insisted they didnt put it there, and I believed them because they wouldnt have dug through the garbage outside, Emily said.
Creepy doll returns for the second time
Emily and her husband wanted to make sure the doll wouldn’t return, so they double-bagged it and placed it at the bottom of a garbage can which was meant to be taken away on a trash day.
They thought it was done and went about their travel plans, only to come back to find it outside their house. Emily took to Facebook at the time to share:
“OK guys, seriously, we need help. To recap for those of you who have not been following our Elsa doll saga, Mat threw it away weeks ago and then we found it inside a wooden bench.”
“Okay….so we were weirded out and tightly wrapped it in its own garbage bag and put that garbage bag INSIDE another garbage bag filled with other garbage and put it in the bottom of our garbage can underneath a bunch of other bags of garbage and wheeled it to the curb and it was collected on garbage day,” she further explained.
She said they had forgotten about it when they came back from their trip and she was shocked when her daughter said: “Mom, I saw the Elsa doll again in the backyard.” A freaked-out Emily requested fellow users to help her “get rid of the haunted doll.”
It hasn’t returned since 2020
Emily believed it wasn’t a prank she was subjected to because the same doll had returned time and again. It had some marker on its face drawn by her daughter over the years, so no one was fooling them by replacing it with a new one.
The family later decided to mail it to a family friend in Minnesota and Emily told herself that she would have to open her mind to “supernatural solutions” if the Elsa doll came back, but lucky them, it was never to be found in their house again.
Her friend who has kept the doll provided an update in a separate Facebook post that read: “… and now for the rest of the story. She made it to Minnesota and is taped to the brush guard of my Jeep. If anything weird happens Im welding her into a steel pipe and sinking it in Lake of the Woods.”
